Graciosa Island Trip

With new rules, restrictions and safety measures to adhere to, travel looks a bit different right now. These are some helpful things to know before you pack your bags for Graciosa Island:

• Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, position your pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be taken out for screening.
• Empty your personal items from your pockets, like your wallet, phone and small change, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
